Definitions
- the invention is in the field of air pollution control.
- the invention is in the field of the reduction of NOx emissions originating from marine engines, in particular lean burn engines, such as diesel-fueled engines as used in yachts, as well as in other ships.
- NOx is used for mono-nitrogen oxides, in practice mainly NO (nitric oxide) and NO2 (nitrogen dioxide). NOx is produced during combustion, especially at high temperature and causes
- Tier I for ships constructed after 1 January 2000
- Tier II for ships constructed after 1 January 2011
- Tier III for ships constructed after 1 January 2016
- 2 g NOx per kWh In the near- future Tier IV legislation is expected, in which the maximum emission is as low as 0.4 g NOx per kWh.
- the indicated maximum emissions are for engines operating at 2000 rpm.
- Regulation (EU) 2016/1628 imposes new emissions limits, referred to as 'Stage V, to reduce the emissions of air pollutants, such as NOx.
- EGR exhaust gas recirculation
- SCR selective catalytic reduction
- reducing agents such as urea ((NH ⁇ CO)
- NH ⁇ CO urea
- reducing agents such as urea need to be stocked in sufficient amounts, which increases the weight of the ship considerably and this results in higher emissions, including higher CO2 emissions, which is undesirable from an environmental point of view.
- SCR techniques only work in a limited temperature range and are for instance not effective at lower temperatures, e.g. at temperatures below 250 °C.
- US6231824 discloses a process for removal of NO from a gas stream by contacting the gas stream with oxygen at a temperature of 150- 1000 °C with a metal-exchanged zeolite, by which NO is oxidized to NO2, followed by contacting the resulting gas stream with ozone, thereby converting the NO2 to form N2O5 and optionally nitric acid, then contacting the gas stream with an aqueous hquid, thereby scrubbing the nitric acid and/or precursors thereof.
- the aqueous liquid used as scrubbing agent preferably has a pH greater than 7.
- EP2711517 discloses a device for eliminating nitrogen oxide from exhaust gases, which comprises a reformer device.
- nitrogen oxide is catalytically converted into nitric acid using ozone, followed by absorption in a liquid.
- the catalyst used for this purpose is based on zeolites, which are optionally exchanged with Ag, Fe or Cu ions. Depending on the type of catalyst the amount of NOx removed is highest in the range of 100 °C to 250 °C.
- Non-catalytic reaction of nitrogen oxides with ozone is not suggested.
- the apparatus described in DE 102013109129 converts nitrogen oxides from off-gas into nitric acid, which is subsequently absorbed in a hquid such as water, alkaline solution, or an ionic hquid.
- a particulate filter (DPF) is used as catalytic converter by which NO is oxidized to NO2 and it is suggested that a higher temperature results in high NO2 concentrations. Cooling the off-gas before it enters the catalytic
- WO2015092547 discloses a method for removing nitrogen oxides from gas streams by scrubbing with seawater and then adding ozone to remove the contaminants.
- EP2719440 discloses a method for removing contaminants from a process gas stream comprising adding ozone to one or more portions of the process gas stream and feeding these to a capture device, in particular to a scrubbing apparatus.
- KR101489657 describes a method of reducing nitrogen oxide and sulfur oxide contained in exhaust gas discharged from a diesel engine for a ship, which involves injecting a hquid catalyst.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a method for NOx emission control of exhaust gases from lean burn engines, in particular marine engines, which does not suffer from the disadvantages mentioned above.
- a process for treating an off-gas from a lean burn engine comprising contacting said off- gas with an oxidizing compound, thus producing oxidized NOx compounds, followed by contacting the oxidized NOx compounds with water, by which at least part of said oxidized NOx compounds dissolves in said water.
- This process of the invention provides for a very efficient means of reducing NOx emission.
- the equipment for carrying out the process of the invention can be compact, so that it can be used on board without sacrificing too much valuable space and without increasing the weight of the ship too much.
- the present invention is based on the finding that by subjecting the NOx compounds present in the exhaust gas to an oxidation step, followed by contact with water, the oxidized compounds readily dissolve.
- Figure 1 shows schematically how the process of the invention is integrated in the natural nitrogen cycle.
- Figure 2 is a schematic representation of a possible embodiment of a process according to the invention.
- Figure 3 is a graph showing the equilibrium between NO and NO2 as a function of temperature.
- Figures 4 and 5 show experimental NOx emissions as a function of engine load.
- the present invention is based on the notion that the solubilities of NO2 and N2O5 in water are much higher than the solubihty of NO in water.
- NO can be oxidized to NO2 using oxygen present in the exhaust gas (lean-burn engines burn fuel with an excess of air and thus oxygen ends up in the exhaust gas).
- NO and NO2 can be oxidized respectively to NO2 and N2O5 by ozonation and, due to the presence of water in gas, for nitric and nitrous acid.
- the present invention provides treatment of removal from nitrogen oxides by a combination of a catalytic converter and non-catalytic ozone reaction.
- excellent conversion into water soluble species can be obtained, while a versatile process control is possible, in particular because the temperature of the process steps can be controlled by injection of water.
- the process of the invention can be used when the off-gases are still cold, which is important for instance at a cold start (which for luxury ships often takes place in a built-up area, for instance in a marina). Also when luxury ships are slowly maneuvering they are often in the vicinity of people and it is therefore important that adequate NOx removal is possible. This would not be possible with most prior art deNOx systems, such SCR based systems, because these have a very limited temperature window in which they are effective.
- the equilibrium composition as function of the temperature is given. It follows that when the exhaust gases are hot, typically in the range of 300-600 °C, NO is oxidized by oxygen to NO2. This reaction can be catalyzed by using an NO oxidation catalyst.
- NO oxidation catalyst can be based, e.g. on noble metals such as Pt and Pd or based on other metals, such as Co and Mn. In this way part of the NO present in the exhaust gas can be converted into NO2.
- Ozone is thermally unstable at temperatures above 120 °C.
- a temperature control step by water injection is included in the process, before the ozone injection. In this way, the temperature can be lowered to 60-100 °C. In this way NO is converted into NO2, N2O4 and N2O0 Because these species are is reactive with water, the water solubihty of the combined NOx compounds increases.
- Both nitrous and nitric acid are relatively strong acids, so they will be in their dissociated forms: NO2' (nitrite) and NO3' (nitrate). Both anions are already present in natural seawater, typically in amounts of several mg/dm 3 .
- nitrous and nitric acid are formed in a late stage of the process, by carrying out the scrubbing step after a high conversion into water soluble species is effected.
- Temperature control is an important aspect of the present invention, in particular of the gas stream after the first (catalytic)
- the gas stream is controlled to a temperature of 300-500 °C. If the gas stream needs to be cooled in this step, coohng is suitably carried out by injecting water.
- reaction with ozone By carrying out the reaction with ozone in a non-catalytic reactor, no contact of the gases with a catalyst is required. Surprisingly, the reaction with ozone is kinetically fast enough to obtain adequate conversion with the residence times (GHSV) that can be achieved in a practical setup, in particular on board of a ship, in particular of a luxury ship were space constraints are very severe. Also problems normally associated with heterogeneous catalysis, such as clogging of monolith channels and/or high pressure drop are avoided.
- GHSV residence times
- the water used for scrubbing the NO2 can be seawater or sweet water, dependent on where the ship is. In most cases the water will be seawater and seawater is preferred.
- NOx is converted to nitrite (NO 2”) and nitrate (NO3 ).
- NO 2 nitrite
- NO3 nitrate
- the marine nitrogen cycle is important part of the nitrogen cycle.
- the marine nitrogen cycle is important part of the nitrogen cycle.
- FIG 1 schematically depicted in figure 1, is the equilibrium between nitrogen, present in the atmosphere as a gas (N2), and its fixed forms (ammonium, nitrite and nitrate).
- N2 nitrogen
- the process of the invention adds nitrogen to this cycle, as indicated by the arrows marked with T in figure 1.
- Bacteria present in the ocean (indicated by 'B' in figure 1) are responsible for nitrogen fixation, and thus for making nitrogen available in a form in which it can be consumed by other forms of life.
- Nitrogen is essential for growth and reproduction for both plants and animals. It is an important element of amino acids that are the building blocks for proteins, as well as in nucleic acids (DNA and RNA).
- the process of the invention is a process of human- induced nitrogen fixation.
- a transfer takes place of the fixed nitrogen species from atmosphere, where this species hinder air quahty and impact human health, to the marine environment, where it is taken up in the natural nitrogen cycle.
- the amount of nitrogen that is added to the natural nitrogen cycle is negligible.
- ozone may be generated on board by known techniques, for instance using commercially available ozone generators. Typically these are fed with either air or an oxygen rich gas, typically comprising 90 vol.% or more O2
- the oxygen rich gas can be made on board from air, for instance using pressure swing adsorption (PSA).
- PSA pressure swing adsorption
- the contacting of the treated gas stream to dissolve the NO2 compounds can be done by injecting water in the exhaust gas stream. This also cools the gas stream.
- the exhaust gas pipe discharges under water, as is common for yachts.
- the present inventors found that the residence time normally available in exhaust pipes on ships is sufficient to remove the soluble NOx forms, in particular NO2 and N2O5 from the exhaust gas of an engine operated at maximum load.
- the water is sprayed into the exhaust gas. Droplet size of the sprayed water are preferably in the range of 10-100 ⁇ , more preferably 20-90 ⁇ .
- the exhaust gas can also be fed to a gas scrubber, which is typically filled with packings, such as Raschig rings, in which scrubber the gas is contacted with water, which is distributed therein.
- the water loaded with NO2 may then be discharged in the surface water.
- a schematic representation is given of a typical process according to the invention. On board of most yachts two engines are present and the exhaust gas treatment is also carried out in duplicate.
- Engine (1) produces exhaust gas (2), which typically contains NO 80-95 wt.%, e.g. about 90 wt.%, expressed as fraction of total NOx.
- the NO2 fraction of the NOx stream is then about 10 wt%.
- This stream (2) is fed to catalytic NO converter (3), in which NO is oxidized to NO2 vising oxygen present in the exhaust gas.
- the temperature of exhaust gas (2) may vary widely and is typically 100-600 °C.
- the product gas (4) is cooled by injecting water (5), which is mostly evaporated.
- a stream of gas comprising an oxidizing compound, such as ozone (7) is then fed to the cooled gas stream.
- ozone can be used (ozone is not stable at temperature above around 150 °C).
- the reaction with ozone takes place in the gas phase and the GHSV (Reactant Gas Flow Rate/Reactor Volume) can be for instance 500 to 80000 h 1 , preferably from 1000 to 50000 h 1 , more preferably from 2000 to 25000 h 1 . This reduces the NO content further, so that the gas stream (8) contains less than 10 wt.% NO and more than 90 wt.% NO2 (based on total NOx).
- Next water (9) is added in scrubber section (10), typically by spraying small droplets of water, preferably having a size in the range of 10- 100 ⁇ , more preferably 20-90 ⁇ .
- the water is collected in stream (11) and discharged.
- the clean gas is also discharged, typically under the water surface.
- a further advantage of discharging the off-gases under the water surface is that particulate matter (PM; viz. small particles, typically less than 10 ⁇ in diameter) will then also be contained in the water, where it will eventually be broken down, so that it is prevented from entering the atmosphere.
- PM emissions are of increasing concern, since they are considered to have adverse effects on human wellbeing and also may cause environmental damage.
- the process of the present invention can be controlled so as to obtain the desired level of NOx removal.
- Adequate process control can be achieved for instance by controlling the amount of ozone to the non-catalytic converter, based on the NO2 content of the gas stream exiting the non-catalytic converter.
- An important advantage of the present invention is that even if not all oxidized nitrogen oxides are removed in scrubber (10), this generally does not result in problems, since the off-gas is discharged below the water line.
- a luxury yacht equipped with two diesel-fueled propulsion engines of 1140 kW is taken as an example.
- This yacht must comply with IMO tier III emission regulation, and emit a maximum of 2,06 g kWh of NOx, which is currently only possible by using an SCR system.
- the IMO test cycles cover the engine load range from 25% to 100%.
- the SCR system is designed to work at exhaust gas temperatures above 250 °C, which for the example vessel is achieved at engine loads above 10%. Therefore, the SCR system will be off (i.e., no urea will be injected) until the load reaches 10%, and the emissions from the engine will be uncontrolled, as can be seen in Figure 4.
- the temperature is above 250 °C, urea is injected and the NOx emissions are regulated to a maximum of lg/kWh, according to the SCR system design.
- the system according to the invention can be used to control the NOx emissions to below 2 g/kWh in the full range of engine operation. While the exhaust gas temperature is low, this is achieved by using the water injection system (see figure 2, reference numeral 5) to cool the gas to about 100 °C (if necessary) and subsequently dosing ozone (7 in figure 2) to the gas. Once the temperature is higher than 250 °C, the ozone generator may be turned off, and the catalytic oxidation step regulates the NOx emissions.
- the system of the invention is an improved solution as compared to SCR. This is particularly true for superyachts, which tend to operate at low engine load from 60% to 90% of the time. In other words, a superyacht equipped with SCR may uncontrollably emit NOx for 60-90% of the time.
- the total weight of the system of the invention may be as low as 3 tonnes, as compared to 10 to 15 tonnes for an SCR system.
- the total volume required by the system of the invention is 8 m 3 ⁇ 4 , as compared to 17 to 27 m « for an SCR system.
- the ozone system may also be used when the exhaust gas temperature is high, to control increased emissions in the load range above 85%, as can be seen in figure 5.
